By the editors · 2 min readLime and bergamot open with a tart, lightly sparkling brightness that gives way quickly. The clove asserts itself early in the transition, adding a firm, slightly dry spice that anchors the warmer notes beneath.
Tonka bean, benzoin, and vanilla form the core — resinous, sweet, and smoothly balsamic. The clove doesn't fade entirely but rounds into the benzoin, creating a spiced warmth rather than a sharp bite. Sandalwood and cedar arrive in the base, adding a dry woodiness that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
The result is a warm, spiced vanilla with resinous depth and a citrus opening that lingers just long enough to give contrast before yielding to richer territory.
